The film stars Seth Meyers and John Cho, and also features Jessica Paré, Jim Piddock, and Jessalyn Gilsig, with cameo appearances by Patton Oswalt, Miguel Arteta, and the film's executive producers Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz.

The plot revolves around two inept filmmakers who con their way into the Montreal World Film Festival with a movie that does not exist.

Larry, less optimistic about the plan, agrees to produce whilst Jake calls Annie to tell her that he has finally directed a groundbreaking film for her to premiere.

Jake convinces him to edit their film, assuring that they indeed have a place in the festival and that he will not screw over Martin.

Production is plagued by Jake’s ego, a lack of planning, and the festival chasing them for the film itself.

Larry steals a random tape and hands it in as their film, whilst Samantha pretends to be in a relationship with Jake to make Annie jealous.

At a party, a drunk Sam kisses Jake, who abandons her to try and fail to win Annie back.

The next day before shooting a scene, Sam offers an irate Jake some drugs, under the guise of Vitamin E, to relax him.

Outside, Jake confronts Sam, who is with her drug dealer, about the nature of their relationship after their love scene, and is rejected.

Jake gets angry at Martin for ruining the fight scene, who in retaliation reveals that he had sex with Annie.
